ETHICAL ISSUES IN GENETIC ENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY
1. Question: In a survey, 75 out of 100 participants stated they were uncomfortable with consuming geneti-
cally modified foods. What percentage of the participants expressed discomfort with GMOs?
Solution: To find the percentage of participants who were uncomfortable with consuming genetically
modified foods, we can use the formula:
Percentage = (Number of participants uncomfortable / Total number of participants) x 100
Plugging in the values: Percentage = (75 / 100) x 100 Percentage = 0.75 x 100 Percentage = 75
Therefore, 75
2. Question: In a survey conducted on public opinion regarding gene editing in human embryos, 62
Solution:
Step 1: Calculate the number of respondents in favor of gene editing in human embryos. Number of
respondents in favor = 62Number of respondents in favor = 0.62 * 500 Number of respondents in favor =
310
Therefore, 310 respondents were in favor of gene editing in human embryos.
3. Question: What percentage of the general population believes that germline genetic modification
should be strictly regulated, according to a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2018?

Final numerical answer: 65
4. Question: In a study related to genetic engineering, 250 participants were recruited. Out of these,
50 participants withdrew their consent for genetic testing after the study had begun. What percentage of
participants withdrew their consent?
Solution: 1. Calculate the number of participants who withdrew their consent: 250 participants - 50 par-
ticipants = 200 participants who did not withdraw their consent. 2. Calculate the percentage of participants
who withdrew their consent: (50 participants / 250 participants) * 1003. Therefore, 20
5. Question: In a study, it was found that out of 100 participants surveyed, 70

therapeutic purposes is ethically acceptable, we need to calculate 70
70
Therefore, 70 participants agreed with gene editing in human embryos for therapeutic purposes.
6. Question:
In a study on "Informed Consent And Genetic Privacy Concerns In Direct-To-Consumer Genetic Test-
ing", it was found that out of 500 participants who underwent genetic testing, 30 individuals expressed
concerns about their genetic data privacy. What percentage of participants expressed concerns about their
genetic data privacy?
Solution:
To find the percentage of participants who expressed concerns about their genetic data privacy, divide
the number of participants with concerns (30) by the total number of participants (500), then multiply by
100 to get the percentage.
Percentage = (Number of participants with concerns / Total number of participants) * 100 Percentage =
(30 / 500) * 100 Percentage = 0.06 * 100 Percentage = 6
Therefore, 6
7. Question: In a survey assessing public opinion on gene editing in human embryos, 68

25. Question: In a survey about designer babies, 78
Solution: To find the number of individuals in favor of genetically modifying embryos, we first calculate
the total number of respondents who support this idea by multiplying the percentage in favor by the total
number of participants and converting it to a whole number: Number in favor = 78Number in favor = 0.78
* 450 Number in favor = 351
Therefore, 351 individuals were in favor of genetically modifying embryos for desired traits based on
the survey.

16. Question: If a biotech company patents a genetically modified organism (GMO) for agricultural
purposes, how many years of exclusive rights do they usually have to commercialize the modified organism
before it becomes available for widespread use by other parties?
Solution: The usual period of exclusivity granted to a biotech company for a patented GMO is around
20 years. During this time, the company has the right to commercialize the patented organism without
competition. After the 20-year period expires, the patent for the GMO becomes public domain, allowing
